Augmentation Evoker is the easiest rating inflation spec in M+ right now and nobody wants to admit it
I’m convinced this is the freest rating season we’ve had in a while if you’re playing Augmentation Evoker. You don’t even need to be good. You just need to exist.
I’ve been queueing keys on multiple specs, and the difference is actually insane. On a normal DPS, you’re sitting there applying to your own key level getting declined over and over. Meanwhile on Aug? You’re getting invites to keys +2 or even +3 higher than your rating justifies. People heard “aug is meta” once and now every group leader has brain rot and types *“need aug”* in LFG even in like 12–13 keys lol.
Regular DPS:
Fight for invites at your own key level
Compete with 50+ applicants
Need logs, IO, perfect spec, etc.
Aug Evoker:
Apply, instant invite
No one checks anything
“meta slot filled, go next”
The funniest part is you can literally play mid and still get rewarded because your value is invisible,untrackable in game justified by external logs nobody in your group will check. There are even players pointing out that damage meters don’t reflect Aug’s real contribution and you have to rely on logs to understand impact, which most pug players obviously aren’t doing.
TLDR
Augmentation Evoker right now is:
One of the most desired specs in M+
One of the least understood specs
One of the easiest ways to get into higher keys than you should
But yeah… totally skill issue if you’re stuck on your main DPS 👍 #entertainment
